For World War I infantryman Vincent Reed, the horrors of combat were a sharp contrast to his experiences with the Army of Occupation. Reed fought in the St. Mihiel Offensive, which decimated his company. After the Armistice, Reed was assigned to administrative duties in Gerolstein, Germany. He made a point of getting to know the locals, study the architecture and history of the town, and travel as widely as possible, including a memorable trip to the south of France.
